Happy Early Birthday to Parker!

We celebrated Parker's 31st birthday today because on his actual birthday (Tuesday the 26th) he has to work all day and I have Young Women in Excellence that night so we thought today would be a good day. He spent about five hours shopping with his birthday money (thanks to everyone who thought of him!) while I stayed home with the kids. He came back with some nice stuff and even had some money left over! I think we'll have to go out to a nice dinner sometime when we can find a sitter. :) Then we went to...CHUCK E CHEESE! Haha, yes that was his request for his special day. I guess that showed me two things. First off, he's still a kid at heart. Second off, he's a very unselfish daddy who knew that taking the boys to Chuck E Cheese is one of their all time favorite things to do, especially with daddy. They are so lucky to have a dad like him! We ate gross pizza, got infested with lots of germs, and battled all the kids but everyone seemed to have a good time. Then we came home and did cake and now we're going to put the kids down so we can enjoy some football cuddled together on the couch! I hope he had a good day and knows how much we all LOVE AND ADORE HIM!!! Happy Birthday sweetie!!!

Jackson was extremely proud of the card he made for daddy, look how good he wrote Happy Birthday on the front all by himself!My favorite boys in the world (ok, except Tyce and my dad)...

Joshy's card for daddy...Jackson's card, notice his cute outfit? He's wearing SKINNY pants! Haha, too cute...Parker spent some of his bday money on this awesome remote control car that flips and does lots of cool stuff, he also got a remote control airplane. Here they are playing with the car...Cute Tyce at Chuck E Cheese, notice his adorable OREGON shirt from Auntie Nicole? LOVE it on him...Could Josh's smile and dimples be any cuter?Mommy's boys playing my favorite game..Best pic I got of Parker and the cake...

What a fun day, Parker told me he feels like such a lucky guy but I say...he deserves all he has and more. He is such an amazing man and I still can't believe he's mine, forever. I am the luckiest girl alive!!! I LOVE YOU PARK!!!

Week with Grandma Morrill...

Well it is a sad day, Michelle leaves! We had a wonderful week with her and hope she enjoyed being here as much as we enjoyed having her here. Tyce has been pretty sick the past couple days so it was nice to have Grandma here to cuddle him when he needed a lap! I don't think she minded much though! Here are some pics from the week...

They each got some new Halloween jammies... And pumpkin flashlights..

Of course Jackson's was broken...We picked out pumpkins and carved them...Tyce showing off his belly...Pulling the seeds out...Grandma and Jack did one pumpkin...And daddy and Josh did the other...Tyce got new jammies too...The finished product...Cute guys in their new shirts...They made monster puppets...Then they painted little pumpkins...

Thanks for a fun week mom! Thanks for entertaining my kids, taking us out to lunch, shopping with me, doing my dishes, sweeping my floors, cuddling Tycee, babysitting, just keeping me company, etc etc etc! I have the best mother in law! Tyce, Jack, and Josh love Grandma SO much and are so lucky to have her! We all love you!

Fun with Grandma, Grandpa, and Tegan!

Well it's been a fast and fun two days and Tegan and Bart are already gone! They could only stay a couple days but the good news is that Michelle is still here! Yay! I'm glad she realized she needed more than 3 days here this time. :) I decided to do one post now, then another after Michelle leaves.

Here's grandpa and Tycee on a bike ride... We don't have enough seats in our car so this was the comfortable arrangements for Tegan...

Tyce loves to show off his belly button...Cute guys at the Air and Space Museum...We had fun bowling, even though mom killed us all!Picnic at the park...Auntie Tegan and Tyce...Cute Tyce on our walk....Grandma and her boys...

We had a fun time with them and miss them already. The boys just ADORE Auntie Tegan, especially Jackson. I was surprised at how fast Tyce warmed up to everyone, he was giving Grandpa hugs all night! Thanks for coming Bart and Tegan!!! Love you so much!!! More to post after Michelle leaves!

Field Trip...

Today the boys had their first school field trip, suddenly they seem so grown up! We went to Cox Farms and they had SO much fun. It was nice to get to know the other parents, their teacher, and also to watch them interact with their classmates. They all got along so well and they would run around holding hands. They walked through the corn maze holding hands with their friend Emily, it was too funny. Anyways, another great thing was that I was able to leave Tyce behind with my wonderful friend Tracy. It was nice to not have to worry about him and be able to focus on Jackson and Josh. Thanks girl for watching him for me! Here are some pics of the day...

It started out cold and windy but it warmed up to a nice cool fall day... I love how Jackson is smiling at Josh...

Mommy and her Jack...Big boys going down the big slides..This is their teacher, Mrs. Morton...Jack wanted to ride all the tractors "just like Grandpa Morrill!"...Cute posers...Our attempt at a class picture...Josh milking the cow..Josh LOVED the goats...Josh on the rope swing, tongue out as always...These are the pumpkins they picked out, they also picked a little one out for Tyce that "had no pokies"...I love my boys!!!

It was a great day and now they are super tired watching a movie on the couch, can't wait till bedtime!

Mini Golf...

Saturday we took the kids miniature golfing and they had SO much fun! They were jumping up and down clapping when we got out of the car. I thought they'd get bored after a few holes but they could've easily done another 18 holes (if mom and dad weren't so cheap, haha). My dang camera died as soon as we got there but Parker got some cute videos of them. This was actually a hard course, nothing was ever flat so your ball never stopped rolling! Anyways, enjoy laughing at them as they try so hard to get their balls in the hole...

After golf we had a picnic and played at the park. I am LOVING this weather! Not hot, not cold! Please stick around fall!

Lastly, here is cute video of Tyce. He "talks" all the time...
